L. B. McKey of Muscatine, Iowa,
Tells of Advantages Transpor
tation Has Brought.
The advantages of water trans
portation to the inland communities
to which it is now fast coming, was
the theme of a most interesting ad
dress of L. R. McKey, of Muscatine,
Iowa, well known grain dealer of
that port, known as the greatest
grain shipping port on the upper
Mississippi river, before the Cham
ber of commerce.
The speaker was presented by At
torney A. L. Tidd, of the river im
provement committe?, who has been
untiring in his efforts to have the
fullest use made of the advantages
of the river transportation.
Mr. McKey in his opening pointed
to the fact that river navigation and
transportation was a reality and not
a dream, that its success or useful
ness to the various communitities de
pended on the efforts : and Interest I

taken to see that all communities
had prepared for the full use of the
river. He congratulated the local
community on the steps taken by se
curing a dock and making investiga
tion of the possibilities of the move
ment of staple crops and raw ma
terial by water as well as rail.
Mr. McKey stated that the upper
Missouri had been virlted by steam
boats in 1S19, earlier than up the
Mississippi and that it was now
only the matter of talcing advantage
of the river and its opportunities to
aid transportation.
In Muscatine the river transpor
tation had grown in a short time,
last year not shipping any grain
while so far this year there had been
frcm 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 bushels
of corn shipped from that port and
if sufficient barges had been avail
able there could have been up to
10,000,000 bushels handled. Govern
ment has aided in barge lines, but
the speaker visioned tnat this would
also in time be a field for private in
vestment as on the Ohio river.
The completion of the Fort Peck
dam, Mr. McKey assured, would mean
an established water level in thd
Missouri river all of the summer sea
son. In comparing rates Mr. McKey

stated that in shipment of corn the
'water rate to New Orleans was 11c
a hundred pounds from Muscatine,
while rail rates to Chicago from the
same city was 15c a hundred. The
Muscatine market had brought
patronage from as far as 175 miles
to the west and from the northern
part cf the state. With four-fifths
of the agricultural output of the
nation raised in the Mississippi val
ley it meant a great deal to see that
a cheaper means of distribution was
realized and which at ihe same time
provided the grower of the crops with
a higher price.
In discussing upstream transpor
tation, the speaker cited gasoline,
fuel oil, coal, binding twine, canned
goods, all moving In at a lower
transportation cost.
Grain was handled at a very close
margin and the water transportation
would make this much cheaper for
the shipper and still give an excel
lent margin for the handling. At
their elevator in Muscatine in the
buying season there was from forty
to fifty trucks waiting for service in
addition to the shipments by rail
that came into the por,j for handling
on the barges, in the twenty-four
hour periods that the elevators oper
ated on.

The river transportation was here
it was ready to give the people all
of the advantages of bringing the
seaboard to their service and only
needed to be taken advantage of.
With the co-operation of the rail
roads it could be a meins of increas
ing their volume of business from
the ports on the river to the interior,
making it possible for the shippers
to purchase in the port many things
to be taken back as a return load
and saving money and giving a fair
profit to to all.
Mr. McKey visioned the movement
west of the great industries to the
smaller places and in the great west
ern country where both rail and
water facilities and better working
conditions beckoned.

cessful addition to the music depart
ment. David Fowler, director of

Reports of Past
Year's Work at
Co. Convention
Five of Six County legion Posts are
Eeprespnted at Weeping Water
Thursday Evening
Plattsmouth Legionnaires are get
ting "fed up" on county conventions
after having attended three within
a period of five days.
Createst attendance from here was
on Thursday night at the Cass coun
ty meeting at Weeping Water, when
nine were present. Monday night
five went to Seward and last night
four were at the Otoe county meet
ing at Nebraska City.
Cass County Posts Active
Five of Cass county's six posts
had representatives at Weeping Wat
er, Louisville being the only town
not represented.
Two department officers, R. C.
Patterson, adjutant, and Henry Kriz,
fervice officer, attended the Weeping
Water session, while District Com
mander Fred Llebers, of Bennet. has
been present at all three of the
district meetings.
Sterling Amick, Cass county com
mander, presided over the meeting
at Weeping Water. Each of the five
units present responded with reports,
on such important matters as Amer
icanism and Community Service
work. Arbor, Memorial and Armistice
day observance, graves registration,
disaster relief, post histories, post
colors, firing squads. Auxiliaries, em
ployment aid, service work, rehabili
tation, child welfare, etc.
Particularly interesting was the
fact that five of the six posts had
boys at the Boys State at the Univer
sity of Nebraska last June: four of
the posts have sponsored entrants in
the Young Citizens contest; several
have Boy Scout troop3. Junior drum
c:rps or Junior baseball teams all
fitting In very nicely with the na
tional organization's youth movement
program.
All county post3 observed Memor
ial day, but none carried out Arbor
day activities this year. Several held
some observance of Armistice day,
with special programs or speakers in
the schools, or both.
Disaster relief organization, one of
the phases of the Legion program, is
woefully lacking in this county, with
none of the posts perfecting the
mobolization plan recommended.
Amick is Re-Elected
In the election of officers. Ster
ling Amick was re-elected county
commander for a second year, while
Joe Zastera of Louisville was named
as vice commander.
